Caps & Requirements
Hit/expertise caps shift a lot at this gear level — the creator notes below (and the full mechanics writeup in the Herald & Argent guide) cover the real per-build requirements.
Best Races
Blood Fury (+322 attack power on a 2-min cooldown) plus Axe Specialization — a free +5 expertise if you run axes, which frees that gear budget for other stats. Hardiness (−15% stun duration) is a real tanking perk too.
Sword / Mace Specialization gives +3 expertise with those weapon types, and Every Man for Himself is a genuine encounter tool for tanks. Draenei is the alternative — Heroic Presence hands the whole party +1% hit.
Notes
Alternatives are listed where two items are close enough that raid composition, luck or professions decide between them.
